Let’s Go!
Dear Diary Today , I make my way to the Philatelic museum from Bras Basah MRT after meeting up with a friend at Simei MRT. We tried to find our way there, it was a little difficult as I’m not a person that have good directional senses. Well, we pull though after referring to a map somehow.
When we got there, we entered the exhibition immediately. There were 3 permanent exhibit rooms, the “Orange room”, ”Purple room” and finally the” Green Room”. The first being the orange room explained how philatelic came about and what it is, they even have interactive “windows”. The second ,the purple room showed various looks of the stamp and also the mailboxes plus how a mail is delivered. And then the third, being the green room shows the stamps of all countries and even has a photo booth for you to take pictures!!
Philatelic Museum What is Philatelic? It is the study of stamps and postal history.
Finally, I headed up to the 2nd floor for the special exhibition…...

Their Years... Singapore Philatelic Museum is the custodian and curator of Singapore's treasure of philatelic materials. The museum collections range from stamps and archival philatelic material of Singapore from the 1830s to present day, and stamps from member countries of the Universal Postal Union. The permanent galleries introduce the world of philately, the world's first stamp, and how stamps are a window to the world - to explore different topics such as science, technology, history and culture. Throughout the year, the museum holds special exhibitions on current topics. Educational activities are organised for schools and members of the public to discover the heritage of Singapore and other countries through philately.

Orange room Purpose... Introduce how stamps are a window to the world.

Cupboard
Philatelic Orange room The room has an interactive cupboard where you pull the cupboard doors which reveals different stamps and information, there is also a television in a window whereby whenever you open it different stamps are shown on the screen and it changes every time you open the window doors. There are also pictures which are split into two so you can turn them around for some mix and match, these actually comes in a few versions like Singa the Lion of kindness or even some Chinese looking calligraphy?

If you were to look on you will realise that philatelic is like a hobby, of collecting items like stamps mugs or even stickers as shown on the wall with the cartoon “The Simpsons� as an example. The design on stamps are made because of an interest towards that subject, there are many designs and some of such examples are butterflies, animals, culture of various countries, flowers, birds, buildings or even cartoon characters!
6
I read an article in the museum , a person said that stamp collecting is essential not only because it was used in mailing last time but also to help you learn about the geography of a place because of said curiosity, I believe that this is true, as a stamp helps you remember how a country is like or what it is perceive to be. For example, an orchid, this will probably bring up several ideas like Vanda 'Miss Joaquim' the Singapore National Flower or maybe you could even relate it to yourself, or maybe an animal, which will probably have you guessing for a few hours if you are not familiar with it and maybe you will try to guess its breed, or even ask yourself if it’s almost on extinction.
Purple room Purpose... Learn the secret language behind specially folded letters
So my guess if that because you ask yourself these many questions, one will research and think of the topic more having a more rounded opinion. Thus, this is why I feel that stamp collecting or rather philatelic is an important hobby for one to not only mail their letters but also know and understand the history, allowing them to expand their views on the world.

Green room This room shows the process of how stamps are made, the doors in the purple room will reveal how to make stamps also they show materials used to write on it, like the feather pen or ink and even the candle seals for letters. They even show various mailbox designs that are used to send mails, also they have a motorcycle that the postman use to make deliveries.
9
Purpose... Find the answers to the 'how-to' of stamp collecting and the 'who's who' of the local philatelic community.
10
Heritage Room
Philatelic
Heritage Room
This room shows the stamps around the world. There is a large wall with the word map and also beside each country is the stamp to represent the country. There are sliding cupboards whereby you pull it out from the wall and they have stamps that come from the countries which are labelled there.
11
In the heritage room, you can get to understand the merchants sailing the waves to fulfil their desire of finding the spices. For example, there is a map which lights up in the room when you press on a button to hear their explanation. Various stuff are displayed like a cupboard whereby you open and each of them have a little explanation to it, also there is a corner where you can smell spices and also look at the clothing people used to wear.
12
Philatelic
Spice Is Nice The “Spice Is Nice� special exhibition shows how the people in the 15th to 17th century track down the origin of spices ,such as nutmeg ,clove ,pepper and even cinnamon, which impacts Singapore in both traditional cures and cuisines today. The European countries like Portugal ,Spain and Netherlands sent ships to sought for the spices origins, as such we will also learn about some explorers. They are Christopher Columbus, Vasco da Gama and Ferdinand Magellan the ones
Special Exhibition
who made great discovery to the origins of the spices. Experiencing life at sea is common among early immigrants from Southern China. There they have interactive maps whereby you push a button and the place of where the spice originates light up. They also have a re-enactment of the place where the travellers stay, like the cabin where ropes hang along the sides and top of it, they also have a ladder which is suppose
to be for them to go to the bottom of the ship and some boxes used to keep goods like spices and even a pail use for cleaning, and the most unexpected thing was a cockroach. Yes, a plastic cockroach a very nice touch to the scene, but seriously, it scared the living daylights out of me and my friend as we thought it was real.

Dear Diary Today, I head down to the Peranakan museum with my friend after realising that the philatelic museum is close to the Peranakan museum which is just straight ahead from there. On the way there, we saw a wall covered with graffiti art and decided to take some pictures. When we reached it,was still sunny out so I took pictures of the entrance of the peranakan museum first, and then I discovered a restaurant there called True Blue. When we finally got in to view the exhibition we realise there was about 10 galleries in total which was quite tedious to explore but we had a “treasure hunt� which was a task given by the counter where we find an embossing stamp machine to complete the family treasures.

Peranakan Museum Who are Peranakans? They are the ethnic Chinese populations of the British Straits Settlements of Malaya and the Dutch-controlled island of Java and other locations.
15
16
Their Years... The Peranakan Museum houses the world's finest and most comprehensive collection of Peranakan artefacts, representing a unique cultural tradition – fusing ethnic Chinese, Malay and Indian elements – indigenous to Singapore and Southeast Asia.
Who am I?
Its rich material legacy and heritage are enhanced by state-of-the-art display technology, and interactive educational exhibits for children.
In Malay, ”Peranakan” means the “child of ” or “born of ” this refers to people of mix ethnic origins, which usually consist mostly of Chinese Peranakans, the others are either Arab, Eurasian and Indian.
Aspects of Peranakan life from cradle to grave are explored in ten permanent galleries, with highlights including the elaborate 12-day Peranakan wedding, prominent Peranakans in Singapore's history, as well as Peranakan food and feasting. Visitors are also provided a glimpse of how modern-day Peranakans have evolved with their culture.
In the room, at the end of gallery 1, there is a video about how peranakans came about like how they sailed through the seas and then started families on South Eastern Asia, becoming peranakans.
The museum is housed in the former Tao Nan School campus, a National Monument. The building, completed in 1912, housed the first modern Hokkien school to be founded in the Straits Settlements. It features a neoclassical design inspired by the French Renaissance.

Religion The realm of gods and ancestors In tradition, Peranakans is a mixture of Daoism, Buddhism, ancestor worship and folk beliefs. They sought to gain favour of and pacify spirits though rites and offerings. Death rituals and mourning are especially important as it is the way of showing respect for their ancestors.

Food and Feasting
True Blue
Food,Glorious food!
Outside of the Peranakan museum
Gallery 2-5
In this gallery, one will learn of the cutlery, food, dining customs that the Peranakans uses. For example, nyonyaware porcelain are used to serve Chinese, Malay, Indian, Thai, European and even Indonesian food with various ingredients and methods of cooking. There is also a special show, a video which is shown every hour, which sadly I did not get the opportunity to watch.
Peranakan Food and Feasting True Blue
A restaurant named after the Saint Francis Enterprise which is started by Benjamin Seck or Baba Ben for around 20 years ago. Since that place sells all stuffs related to Peranakans, Benjamin chose this name, True Blue, to honour his patron saint, Saint Francis of Assisi. Baba Ben and the famous Peranakan chef, Nyonya Daisy Seah , his mother, has been instrumental in passing on her culinary skills to him. Baba Ben loves to experiment with fusion Peranakan dishes. He is one of the first chefs to use edible orchids to enhance the flavour and appearance of his dishes. Soon, Baba Ben’s restaurant was rated one of the Top Restaurants in 2006 and Best New Restaurant in 2005 by Wine & Dine. True Blue Cuisine has been on the top of list of restaurants in Singapore since then. From a few food critics, they said that the food is not bad but they do feel it’s a little costly.The store not only serves food but sells accessories, porcelain and even sarong, which will fulfil your depth in understanding the Peranakans. So if you want, do treat yourself a bunch of Peranakan cuisines to accessories and of course their sarong kebayas to further understand their culture.

Dear Diary Today, I made my way to the Peranakan museum once again since yesterday I did not get to take all the photos that I wanted, as the museum closes vey early, like 7pm,which is the reason why my friend and I got meet up early to go to the museum as it is quite far from where we live.
So, when I made my way to the Singapore Art museum I realise that they have a restaurant that I really love there, ”Dome”. Also, another realisation is that the Singapore Art Museum is very close to Bras Basah MRT whereby you just go to Exit A, if I’m not wrong and go up there and finally turn left, and there it is the Singapore Art Museum! When I entered the building itself, in front of the registration counter is something unexpected. A fur covered finger is what I came across which freaks me out. Next, when I entered the exhibition I came across more fingers of different designs. Actually, though I was disgusted, I was also curious on why they only used the forefingers for an art piece. When I read the description, it says that to show that a country was agreeing to peace they will cut the forefingers of their soldier. The forefinger, the finger used to trigger a gun. Later, when I was looking around, I came across a very unusual work, its an untitled work of underwear? I was wondering what kind of artist or person drew this when I recalled my mom telling me she drew something related to underwear… Guess what, you wouldn’t believe it, but its her!

Singapore Art Museum What is Art? Its the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.
26
Their Years... Opened in January 1996, the Singapore Art Museum (SAM) aims to preserve and present the contemporary art and art histories of Singapore and Southeast Asia. Housed in the former Saint Joseph’s Institution, SAM is home to the world’s largest public collection of modern and contemporary Southeast Asian artworks, with a growing collection of international contemporary art. SAM at 8Q – SAM’s annexe – opened on 15 August 2008 at 8 Queen Street. Occupying the former Catholic High School, it houses the growing contemporary art collection of SAM and adopts a more experimental approach in engaging audiences in art. It provides candid insights, through contemporary art, into the history, society and culture of modern day Singapore.

Singapore Art Level 1
The first piece of exhibit was the forefinger one, which looks like a yeti’s finger located at the front desk of the museum, when you enter there are more forefingers, and a description where they said forefingers are removed from soldiers to promote peace as the forefinger is the trigger to firing a gun, meaning the one responsible for the killings on a battlefield, which is the reason it was severed.
Visitors to both SAM and SAM at 8Q can expect to find an interactive, living centre for the arts, presenting a diversity of contemporary art genres – from painting, sculpture, installation, film and video, photography, new media, to performance and sound art. SAM’s permanent collection is displayed on a rotational basis, accompanied by frequent changing exhibitions that present the best of recent art from museums, galleries and private collections in the region. The former St. Joseph’s Institution Building, completed in 1867, is a National Monument. Established by a French Catholic Order, De La Salle Brothers, the building features classical elements and is typical of 19th century French colonial religious architecture in the region.

Level 2 Later, when I went in deeper, I realise that there is this boat of glass bottles with different messages and writings on it. Curious, I went to a nearby table and it said that these bottles are actually messages to encourage the prisoners to never stop living, and that there is still hope in life even if you were once a convict of a crime. Touched, I open a book which has various messages from prisoners, and we can write to them as long as we fill in their prisoner number and put it in a box, a reply will be send back to you is what they said.
Singapore Art Level 2
After that I went to the second floor to hear a chime from the church bell? That is when I realise there is an interactive sound exhibit whereby you combine the sound from the pedestal or so. Next, I went to a room filled with post it notes? This post are all written by people on the subject, “ What if the world were to change� and were stuck on the walls creating a beautiful piece of art that combines everyone’s thoughts and opinions on the wall.
When I explored the other rooms, I found something that instils fear in the human mind, broken parts of humans lying on the floor everywhere in a room with a video playing where everyone seems to be suffering.

Singapore Art Level 2
When I entered the next room I came across what I thought was a pile of red beans in a red room? My friend said that it was not beans but seeds. Moving on, I found a darkish room with some very shiny crystal like items. The sugar like diamond crafted item relects light off itself making it hard for me to take a close look and take a photo but regardless I still managed to. After a while, I found a very creepy room, that room’s description was that the artist used his parents corpse to take photos making it into an artwork… Truth be told, I hated that room, it has a very creepy feeling to it, the walls were dark adding to the gloomy atmosphere, whch is the reason why I did not want to take any photos though I had to.
room is a television which also has tape all over it. At that time, the television had this man talking in a foreign language which I guessed must been thai since the one who made the exhibit beside it was thai . The last thing I found on the second floor is the chapel, the walls in there were so high that it was totally pitched black, and the design on the lights and walkway itself was very intricate. It has rainbows reflecting back at you which gives a peaceful feeling for me. After taking photos, we realise that the chapel is just next to the room that the church bell sounded, I was flabbergasted that we actually walked the whole of level 2 as it seems to be so big that we couldn’t finish it in a day.
Later, I found yellow tape wrap to look like actual furniture which surrounds the whole corridor, it was quite interesting as it was the only exhibit that had to occupy the whole corridor and at the end of it was a room with threads that surrounds the whole table that was there also next to the

Learning gallery The Learning Gallery presents artworks selected to promote engagement and discussion of broader issues through contemporary art. People And Places showcases twenty Southeast Asian contemporary art works fromthe Singapore Art Museum’s permanent collection that looks at the people, places and spaces around us. Revolving around ideas of identity, urbanisation, globalisation and the environment, these works raise pertinent issues on urban living in the modern cityscape and prompt us to consider how the artists have translated their visionsabout these issues into works of art. The guide provides you with information about the works, the artists and the inspiration behind their creations. Accompanying each write-up are some “bigidea” questions that encourage you to think a little more about the artist’s intention for a deeper engagement with the work.

Singapore Art Level 2 EKO NUGROHO IT’S ALL ABOUT COALITION 2008 Bronze 190 x 60 x 60 cm Singapore Art Museum collection Eko Nugroho’s It’s All About Coalition is typical of the artist’s signature style which is heavily influenced by popular and comic culture featuring strange, hybrid characters. Two figures approach each other, seemingly to offer friendship or peace by means of the universal gesture of a handshake. However, the outstretched hand of one character has taken the form of the head of a wolf, its jaws open and ready to snap off the other party’s extended hand. The other party is not defenceless either – his other hand, resting by his side, has taken the shape of pincers or claws, ready to retaliate. Both figures are caught in a moment of tension and anticipation – will they attack in mutual distrust, or will there be true coalition between them? Eko Nugroho’s work responds to social and political situations with humour, sarcasm and parody. He believes that art must communicate with people, and sees his work as “a story-telling journey” with different audiences at different sites. The visual, pop appeal of his work is a means for Eko Nugroho to discuss difficult issues or social causes that are easily overlooked by people.
Biography Eko Nugroho was born in Indonesia in 1977 and majored in painting at the Institut Seni Indonesia. A young artist fast gaining recognition at home as well as abroad, he has exhibited widely in Indonesia as well as in Europe, Japan and more recently, at the 5th Asia-Pacific Triennale. He works in a variety of artistic media, including painting, embroidery and sculpture. Eko Nugroho also often works on collaborative projects with communities and other social creatives in order to surface pressing social issues to the larger community and hopefully, effect change.

Biography Jing Quek was born in Singapore in 1983 and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography from the School of Visual Arts, USA. He exhibited in Singapore as well as New York, and is known for his vibrant photography which depicts its subjects with great humour and joie de vivre (or “Joy of Living”). His works explores the Singaporean identity and local urban cityscape, documenting the people and places that make this country unique.
Jing Quek Singapore Idols Skateboarders (Edition 5 + 1 A.P) 2006 I Photograph I 52 x 77.5 cm I Singapore Art Museum collection The Singapore Idols series of photographs is artist Jing Quek’s attempt to capture a collective portrait of distinctive communities in Singapore, beyond the commonly used racial divisions that people are familiar with. Here, a group of youths typically seen in the shopping malls and skate parks of Orchard Road strut confident poses in a celebrity-style composition reminiscent of glossy pictures of idols seen in magazines. With their definitive style in fashion apparel and accessories, the collective identity of the group stands out as a distinct community in our urbanised country.

YUREE KENSAKU THE KILLER FROM ELECTRICITY AUTHORITY 2009 Acrylic, carved window, painted toy skull and plastic blind 112 x 80 cm Singapore Art Museum collection Similarly, a group of foreign workers employed as grasscutters are captured in a playful composition where the subjects, with their unexpected poses, resemble Cosplayers or perhaps a group of warriors, rather than grasscutters. Through this, Jing Quek signals the values he ascribes to the individuals featured in his work in his attempt to address (and subvert) constructions of identity, stereotypes and communities. Jing Quek celebrates common, everyday situations and environments with a stylised take on these individual communities that have their own unique sense of culture and identity, capturing the spirit of the people who make up the ‘face’ and landscape of Singapore.
Yuree Kensaku created The Killer From Electricity Authority after witnessing staff from the electricity authority cut down trees growing above the power lines outsideher house. Without the shade of nearby trees, her house became hotter and moreuncomfortable to live in. With this work, Yuree Kensaku contemplates the future of theworld for the younger generation by addressing the issue of climate change. The artist’s use of found, discarded objects such as a wooden window frame and aplastic blind has given these unwanted items a new life as part of an artwork. The window frame and plastic blind become a frame for her painting, opening to a viewof her neighbourhood, which she
Singapore Art Level 2
has depicted as a desert inhabited by a distressedcamel and human, in order to reflect her concerns about the impact of the increase in temperature. Through her stylised form of narrative illustration which depicts a barrenlandscape with the victims and perpetrators of the situation, the worry and despairabout a world facing drastic environmental changes are felt more clearly.
Biography Born in Thailand in 1979, Yuree Kensaku graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts inVisual Arts from Bangkok University and has held several solo and group exhibitions.Her art draws on the vibrant colours and stylised illustration of pop art* as well as Japanese manga. Environmental issues and representations of ecological disasterare frequent themes explored in her works.*Pop art – a style of art that uses elements of popular culture, advertising and mass media.

Safaruddin Dyn Maxwell Road 2009 I Acrylic on canvas I 90 x 120 cm I Singapore Art Museum collection
Level 3 and 4
Safaruddin Dyn’s works reference the idea of memory and absence, using images from old photographs to serve as visual diaries of specific landmarks in order to trigger feelings of nostalgia and longing in the viewer. By painting landmarks in Ann Siang Hill and Maxwell Road as objects in a distorted manner, Safaruddin Dyn displaces the buildings that are featured, reflecting an uncomfortable, eerie stillness and emptiness brought about by the absence of human life.
Level 3,4
The Untitled exhibition Located at a corner, I found an exhibition which speaks to me as unusual, this is because the works have no title at all. Usually works have titles but this gallery specifically ask the audience to name the art piece for them. I was wondering around thinking for a name for each exhibit to come across something weird…
This sense of displacement is further highlighted through the use of muted colours for the objects featured, set against the bright bursts of luminous colours as the background. Both Ann Siang Hill and Maxwell Road are prominent areas in Singapore that have, in recent times, undergone tremendous change. Only a few of these conservation shop houses and Art Deco architecture buildings remain in Singapore today. Safaruddin Dyn’s works speak of the constant tussle between holding on to the old and paving way for the new in our fastpaced society with its ever-changing cityscape.

Underwears on a hanger? That was my first thought when I came face to face with it, I chuckled a little then I remembered something my mother told me. She told me that long ago she was urge by my grandfather to paint a picture underwears because it was different…
Biography Safaruddin Dyn was born in Singapore in 1977, and graduated with a Master’s Degree in Fine Arts from the Open University at LaSalle-SIA College of the Arts.
37
Safaruddin Dyn’s artworks often explore the idea that memory - although transitory - can achieve immortality by freezing time and space into a sculpture, photograph or painting.

Getting to Philatelic Museum So i was stunned for a moment and told myself “ Nah it couldn’t be such a coincidence right?” guess what?... It was her painting! I confirm it a few times only to feel silly and laughed. The description said exactly like what my mom told me, it was along the lines of “Angeline Choo was urged by Choo Keng Kwang to paint a picture….” or something like that.
